Vedic Reference
EnglishDaśan, ‘ten, ’ forms the basis of the numerical system of the
Vedic Indians, as it does of the Āryan people generally. But
it is characteristic of India^1 that there should be found at a
very early period long series of names for very high numerals,
whereas the Āryan knowledge did not go beyond 1, 000. In
the Vājasaneyi Saṃhitā^2 the list is 1
10
100
1, 000
10, 000
(ayuta)
100, 000 (niyuta)
1, 000, 000 (prayuta)
10, 000, 000 (arbuda)
100, 000, 000 (nyarbuda)
1, 000, 000, 000 (samudra)
10, 000, 000, 000
(madhya)
100, 000, 000, 000 (anta)
1, 000, 000, 000, 000 (parārdha).
In the Kāṭhaka Saṃhitā^3 the list is the same, but niyuta and
prayuta exchange places, and after nyarbuda a new figure
(badva) intervenes, thus increasing samudra to 10, 000, 000, 000,
and so on. The Taittirīya Saṃhitā has in two places^4 exactly
the same list as the Vājasaneyi Saṃhitā. The Maitrāyaṇī
Saṃhitā^5 has the list ayuta, prayuta, then ayuta again, arbuda,
nyarbuda, samudra, madhya, anta, parārdha. The Pañcaviṃśa
Brāhmaṇa^6 has the Vājasaneyi list up to nyarbuda inclusive,
then follow nikharvaka, badva, akṣita, and apparently go =
1, 000, 000, 000, 000. The Jaiminīya Upaniṣad Brāhmaṇa^7 list
replaces nikharvaka by nikharva, badva by padma, and ends
with akṣitir vyomāntaḥ. The Śāṅkhāyana Śrauta Sūtra^8 con-
tinues the series after nyarbuda with nikharvāda, samudra,
salila, antya, ananta (= 10 billions).
But beyond ayuta^9 none of these numbers has any vitality.
Badva, indeed, occurs in the Aitareya Brāhmaṇa, ^10 but it
cannot there have any precise numerical sense
^11 and later on
the names of these high numerals are very much confused.
An arithmetical progression of some interest is found in the
Pañcaviṃśa Brāhmaṇa, ^12 where occurs a list of sacrificial gifts
in which each successive figure doubles the amount of the
preceding one. It begins with dvādaśa-mānaṃ hiraṇyam, ‘gold
to the value of 12’ (the unit being uncertain, but probably the
Kṛṣṇala), ^13 followed by ‘to the value of 24, 48, 96, 192, 384,
768, 1, 536, 3072, ’ then dve aṣṭāviṃśati-śata-māne, which must
mean 2×128×24 (the last unit being not a single māna, but
a number of 24 mānas) = 6, 144, then 12, 288, 24, 576, 49, 152,
98, 304, 196, 608, 393, 216. With these large numbers may be
compared the minute theoretical subdivision of time found
in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa, ^14 where a day is divided into
15 muhūrtas — 1 muhūrta = 15 kṣipras, 1 kṣipra = 15 etarhis,
1 etarhi = 15 idānis, 1 idāni = 15 prāṇas. The Śāṅkhāyana Śrauta
Sūtra^15 has a decimal division of the day into 15 muhūrtas —
1 muhūrta = 10 nimeṣas, 1 nimeṣa = 10 dhvaṃsis.
Few fractions are mentioned in Vedic literature. Ardha,
pāda, śapha, and kalā denote (1/2), (1/4), (1/8), (1/16) respectively, but only
the first two are common. Tṛtīya denotes the third part.^16
In the Rigveda^17 Indra and Viṣṇu are said to have divided
1, 000 by 3, though how they did so is uncertain. Tri-pād
denotes ‘three-fourths.’^18
There is no clear evidence that the Indians of the Vedic
period had any knowledge of numerical figures, though it is
perfectly possible.^19

Altindisches Leben, 348, considers that
it has not any definite sense in the

this cannot be either proved
or disproved. The Rv. has the phrase
śatā sahasrāṇi several times (iv. 32,
18
viii. 32, 18, etc.) = 100, 000
and
ayuta may easily have been already
specialized, though it may also have
retained a vague sense.
